Crescent Lufkin decided to tackle real problems that pros see daily on the job site. Their latest chalk reel line tackles messy, inefficient, and poorly built reels. Crescent’s new line of reels put those problems to bed. Three separate versions are part of the new line, the 150-foot site reel, 100-foot professional reel, and 50-foot compact reel.
150-Foot Site Reel
The sit-flat case design of the 150-foot site reel makes refilling fast and clean through its one-way quick refill valve or slide-door opening. The site reel is protected against tangles and snags due to an end hook/ring combo that clips securely into a docking channel. A thicker, compound braided line creates the best balance between noticeable lines and reduces the overspray of every snap.
100-Foot Chalk Reel
Available in a dual-material or with an aluminum case, the 100-foot reel features a retractable end hook that pulls into a nested position, preventing unwanted snags. Retraction is fast, and reel protection is improved during storage with the 6:1 gear ratio, rotating hub, and fold-away handle. Filling the reel with a one-way chalk refill valve is quick and mess-free.
50-Foot Compact Reel
Crescent’s third option is the 50-foot compact reel. The 50-footer fits easily into your pocket or work pouch because of its smaller design. A 3:1 gear ratio offers faster rewind and decreased retrieval time, and a fold-away handle locks the retrieval arm in place to prevent breaking or inadvertent unreeling. The compact reel also provides 60% more lines than similar competitors’ products.
Blue Chalk
Alongside releasing their three new reels, Crescent introduced Hard Mark Blue Chalk. A high-brightness chalk that is three times more visible than standard chalk. Their full chalk line-up includes five colors, which come in 8 oz. and 2.5 oz. Options for a variety of user needs.
